How to find multiple instances of buttons

Aug 3, 2012 11:49 AM

Hi all.

 

I am currently adapting a piece of work from another of our business partners so that it is accurate for our own area of business (yes we are allowed to)

 

The creator has placed a certain image button into the product that links to different external web pages.

 

This all works well, however, I now need to change the links on these buttons so that the policies that appear are our own and not theirs.

 

These buttons are not named in any way other than by their filename (padlock)

 

Captivate lists them simply as Button_***

 

Is there any way of searching for these buttons so that I don't miss any?

 

There are quite a few in this 100 slide project.

 

Any help is appreciated,.

 

I've tried the Ctrl-F search but it doesn't allow you to narrow it down to a specific button. And I cannot find any usage statistics for buttons in the properties anywhere.

 

Regards

    Hi there,

     

    First way to check the button is from the Timeline, everything which you're using is available in timeline. Please check the screenshot:

    And to change the links in Captivate, just select the button in your project and check the properties panel in the Right side. Check the screenshot.

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    Not quite what I was getting at, but thanks.

     

    What I really need is a way to search for multiples of each of these buttons within a 100 slide project.

     

    This project has in excess of 600 buttons, therefore searching each one manually is a bit of a nightmare.

     

    I think there are 5 of these specific buttons.

     

    Any further help is much appreciated.

    Just click on Project>Advanced Interaction and you will see all the buttons with their action defined.

    Hi Col,

     

    Are all the buttons using the same image button? With Advanced Interaction, you can indeed filter on buttons only:

    AdvInter.png

    This panel, although non-interactive, is linked with the properties panel, so you can select each button sequentially and change its properties in the PI.

    Yes indeed, I noticed the filter at the top. Very helpful.
